Moms unite on Instagram to reveal the 'lazy meals' they trick their kids into eating

Instagram and Facebook are often platforms for people to show off how "perfect" their lives are.

But some moms are sick of the facade, and are uniting together on social media to prove sometimes you gotta be a little bit of a #lazymom to get yourself through dinner (and the day).

We first spotted the trend on The Daily Mail, but they used photos from an Australia-based Facebook group for moms that seems to be closed to the public. But when we searched Instagram, there were thousands of photos tagged.

"On the menu tonight WAS Turkey Chili BUT failed to realize I was out of tomato sauce! Luckily I had a box of Organic Mac n Cheese and made "Beef" Mac & Broccoli. #DinnerFail," This Instagrammer lamented.

The Daily Mail pointed out a few of the moms they found were "jazzing" up the names of the #lazy food. "I’ve possibly reached a new low. Dinner tonight = puff pastry, pizza sauce and grated cheese. I called them puffy pizza pockets."

This mom also knows she's not fooling anyone. "#gross," she tagged her photo. "#PoorChild."

Tons of websites, like SkinnyTaste, are supposed to give you healthy and easy meal ideas. But some moms say even the simplest ideas are too much to handle sometimes. "This is where my energy level is today," @Trector17 wrote under this photo.
